Stories Archive

Stories of Incredible Courage Archive (STOIC-A) collects testimonies from real people of courage, conviction, and character. Each one is unique, each one is inspiring. Each one is dedicated to helping the world find the way to freedom.

The project started in 2022 to capture the resiliency and determinations of those caught in Putin’s corrupt ideology and war against Ukraine. It expanded to stories of dissidents and refugees from Communist regimes. It seeks and captures stories of extraordinary courage. Each one is a personal story of trial, failure, and success. Each one is an overcomer, each one changes the world for the better.

It costs an average of $1,500 to collect a story (equipment, preparation, travel, editing, translating, etc), and as much as $10/year to store and share a story.
